Democrats, Come Out Tonight

"Not loud, but deep" are the MUIR
murs of discomfort along the line in
the Republican ranks as to the Alder
manic nominations made by the
party leaders on Saturday night. 1t
is not the intention to create the I'M
preston that there is general dlsap-
probation; but the objections to some
of those put forward are OF such
nature that their defeat is certain In
the event of good nominations being
the result of the Democratic caucnses
this evening. We might just as we'll
recognize the fact that in all parties
there is a very large contingent I
voters who will not be bound alto
gether by party ties in these
local elections. They are OF
the best part of the COM
munity, property-holders, taxpayers,
heads of families, intelligent
men, honest and sincere. These will
90 for the best men on whatsoever
ticket they may find their names,
And there are some out OF this class
of voters in our own ranks. 1t is there
fore incumbent on us to name. gooo
men. If we do this, and thus keep
the party solid, the sweep our ticket
will make of the field will astonish US.
Therefore, let all good citizens turn
out tonight, and help select the
ticket. The motives for this action
are many and of grave moment. The
course pursued by the Prohibltionists
in the First Ward marks the pro-
gramme of that party. While no com
promise will be made on any measure
short of absolute Prohibition,
yet, wherever a Republican
can be discovered who will pledge
himself squarely on this issue, he
will be supported. Mr.. Mathews, OF
the First ward, who is the regular
Republican nominee, has given such
a promise. The result is the taking
down of Mr.. Woodhead's name
on the Prohibition ticket and
the concentration of the Re
nublican vote on that man.
Now, is there any voter in the city SO
obfuscated in his narrow intelligence
that he must have the significance OF
this act explained to him. If there is,
any sensible fellow in the pueblo had
better spare his breath rather than at
TEN pt the explanation. That absurd
person could not get an idea
in his head by any process
short of trepanning. Here is the Re-
publ can party nominating and voting
for an out-and-out Prohibitionist. 1t
is m ore than probable that this open
course will not be pursued in all cases.
There is smoother way than this to
get a council pledged to sumptuary
measures elected. There are men on
the Republican ticket who will not
hesitate to play a double game to
compass their ends in this regard.
Look out for people who will run with
the hare and hunt with the hounds
to get into the council. There is no
sure method for those who do
not wish to see the city de-
of narrow, "Blue Law" policy, but to
vote the Democratic ticket. 1t is not
too much to say that there is not a
Republican on the list who can be
trusted on this question.
Then there are the numerous
branches of Public Works, in which
large money is to be spent during the
next two years, and this consideration
is drawing jobbers into the public
arena as the carcass draws the
huzzards to feast upon the prey. Men
of tried integrity, OF standing in the
community, and far removed from all
suspicion of jobbing, are the only sort
who should find favor in the eyes OF
the electors tonight. Let us distin-
puish ourselves by nominating such
men. and such as will add to these
qualifications that further character
istic of being men OF broad views and
of progressive policy.
